SPECIFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 341,719, dated May ll, 1886-.

Application led March 23, 1386.

To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that 1, CHARLEs V. BAUER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nicholasville, in the county of Jessamine and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Horse-Collar Pads, of which the following is a. specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to combi ned horse-collar and sweat-pad, to be connected by a snitable device, the peculiarity of which will be hereinafter fully set forth. A

In the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, Figure l represents a cross-section of the collar, the sweat-pad, and the fastening device. Fig. 2 represents an edge view of the fastening device in part.

In the figures, A represents an ordinary horse-collar, with its usual fore roll, B.

D represents an ordinary stuffed sweat-pad, to lie between the collar and the shoulder ofv the animal. To the collar side of the pad is riveted a wire,which forms a loop or staple, d.

G represents acurved metallic spring,which has one end curved and turned upward, as seen at e. Riveted at one of its ends is a spring-tongue, a, its free end resting between the upwardly-turned end e and the body of Serial No. 196,244. (No mofleL) the spring C, thus forming a snaphook. The other end of the spring C is turned outward, as represented.

A fastening device is used at each end of the pad. In using this device the spring C is made to embrace the fore roll of the collar, and the snap-hook at one end is made to catch into the loop d of the pad. This fastening is simple and cheap, allowing the parts t0 be quickly attached to or detached from each other.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination ofa horse-collar and sweatpad, the pad being provided with a wire loop, and the two being connected together by means of a bandspring to embrace the fore roll of the collar, and a snapfhook at one eind of the spring to engage the loop upon the pad, suhstantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

C. V. BAUER.
